We wanted a list that covers every budget a French meal in Singapore can have, so it runs from three Michelin stars down to a $28 bistro set. Every price, set menu, address and opening hour above was read on 10 November 2026 from the restaurant's own website, menu PDF or reservations page, not copied from other roundups. Michelin stars are from the MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026, revealed on 4 August 2026. We left out places whose own sites no longer worked or now point somewhere else.

Odette, Julien Royer's three-Michelin-starred restaurant at the National Gallery, is the one most diners and guides put first. On 10 November 2026 its reservations page listed lunch from SGD 288++ (4-course Delight) and dinner at SGD 398++ (vegetarian) or SGD 498++. For a classic brasserie meal rather than a tasting menu, Brasserie Gavroche on Mohamed Sultan Road is our pick.
Saveur at 5 Purvis Street is the cheapest on this list: its monthly special is a 3-course menu at $28+ (starter, main, drink and dessert), and duck confit is $21 a la carte. Bistro du Vin's Zion Road outlet does a 2-course weekday set lunch at $33++ ($38++ for 3 courses), not available on weekends or public holidays.
Lunch. Saint Pierre (two Michelin stars, One Fullerton) has a 3-course set lunch at $198++ from Tuesday to Friday and a 4-course at $228++ from Tuesday to Saturday. Odette's cheapest is the SGD 288++ 4-course Delight lunch. After 10% service and 9% GST, Saint Pierre's set lunch works out to about $237 a person.
Atout in Dempsey has run a Festive Set Lunch since 2 November (2 courses $68++, 3 courses $78++, coffee or tea included, Monday to Saturday 11.30am to 4.30pm) and a festive 4-course set dinner at $105++ with a turkey ballotine main. Saint Pierre lists separate Christmas Eve lunch and dinner and New Year's Eve lunch and dinner menus on its site.
It means a 10% service charge and 9% GST are added on top, which raises the bill by about 19.9%. A $58++ lunch at Brasserie Gavroche costs about $69.55, and Odette's SGD 288++ lunch about $345.
